Looking for a romantic Friday night dinner for two

I'm hoping to take my girlfriend out this Friday night and I'm looking for a romantic-ish (doesn't have to be super intimate or anything, but nowhere loud or rowdy) place to get dinner. I know many New Orleans restaurants are more expensive, but I'd like to keep entrees in the $15-20 range rather than the $20-30 range -- money is really tight for both of us these days, which she understands. I'm open to any suggestions, but I do want to be full at the end of it -- I know some fancier restaurants' portions are rather small, so I want to try to avoid that. Above all, I just want to have great food. Any ideas?
